YAY!!

Soooo, I know I recently updated my blog but I thought for those of you who DON'T have OR use Facebook, I'd better send you this update :)

Yup, Alyssa is going to be a BIG sister and I'm due mid July!!  We are VERY excited and Alyssa kisses my tummy all the time and says "Hi Baby" :)  She's going to make an excellent BIG sister! She's so crazy about babies already, I know she's going to be Mommy's big helper!! :) 

So there you have it.  It has been a little bit of a rough first trimester but, I'm starting to feel a little better.  Andy wants to find out what this baby is so we will find out on March 4th.  I think he's hoping for a boy since his Dad passed, plus his Dad's birthday was on July 15th and we are due around July 17th.   We're just  praying for another healthy and happy baby!!!

It's been a long time!

Wow, May of 2008 is the last time I wrote - Amazing!  Amazing in a lot of ways.  Amazing how time flys, amazing that Alyssa is going to be 2 in one month! Amazing how she's saying so much and how smart she is already! 


She's so much fun!  Her favorite shows are Caillou, Elmo and she's starting now to get into the Disney Princesses!  Well, she's discovered Snow White thanks to the episode on "Full House".  She kept saying "Hug, hug" because she wanted to hug her so much.  I promised her one day she will.  I myself have never been to Disney World and cannot wait to go!  I think I'll be just as excited as she will!



She had a BLAST at Christmas!



Though she wasn't crazy about Santa, she loved him from a distance, and especially loved the Candy Canes he gave her! 



She had fun opening her gifts, especially her Kitchen Playset!
 

She has a blast pretending to cook things especially because the stove makes boiling sounds as well as frying sounds :)  She loves talking on the phone too while cooking. She's very good at multi-tasking :)  She really loves talking on the "real" phone to everyone who calls.  Her favorite is calling Aunt Maria as much as she can and keeping her on the phone for a good 15 minutes each conversation! Ha! 


She's at the stage of repeating everything she hears so, we get a kick out of some of the things she repeats, like how one time when we were driving in the car and Andy hit the breaks when I wasn't ready and I kind of shreaked!  She's been imatating that ever since!! HA!  She also says "Caillou says, Opps"!  She loves that!


So, that's the lastest for now.  I will try my best to update this more than a year at a time! :)
